Scribus also tries to adhere as strictly to standards as possible. SVG is a big part of that e.g. Scribus uses SVG as one of its primary means of importing vector artwork, as well as exporting SVG as compliant as possible. Small example: witness the support for dublin core metadata in both applications.

As for siblings, Its fair to say both projects are trying very very hard to become best of breed, despite the different toolkits used. Actually, choice of tool kits, except for some good natured banter and joking is rarely an issue or a problem.

We struggle with the same sorts of issues in attempting to create standards compliant output. SVG is a big and complex spec and so far no app open or proprietary has 100% perfect compliancy.

This kind of cooperation is no doubt benefital to each project *and* to end users.

We have an enormous amount of respect for the Inkscape devels and how they have managed their project. The proof is in the results.. In one short year, their progress has been remarkable.

You, mrdocs and Mentalguy, and all the rest of your teams REALLY ROCK.
Differents but equals. This is the spirit.

And obviously thanks for these great apps, I don't use Inkscape cause I do not draw graphic but from time to time I use Scribus to print something, and it's really useful.
